Property Description |
|
Use of the following facilities |
|
General Known in 1254 as 'Borland', by 1578 (when it changed hands for £52-12-6!) it had become Bowerlande. The property has had a long and varied history; it is believed that it was used as a POW transit camp in the war - the Napoleonic War! Today, Bowerland represents a characterful, sympathetically modernised farmhouse and two superbly renovated, luxurious holiday barn conversions, in the lovely peaceful country just beneath the drama of Dartmoor.
Superbly located, it offers a wealth of
opportunities for touring, walking, riding, cycling, golf, tennis, a wide
range of pub food and a choice of either coast, depending on whim and
weather. As if that were not enough, we are in the centre of a choice
selection of fishing locations for both salmon and trout. |

A
glance at our location map will show you that we are ideally located for
exploring Dartmoor and touring Devon and East Cornwall: from the majestic
grandeur of the high moor, to the softer beauty of its eastern slopes;
from the spectacular coast paths and coves of North Devon and Cornwall to
the gentler delights of the south Devon coast; Castle Combe, Powderham
Castle, Plymouth Aquarium, Rosemoor RHS Gardens, Lanhydrock, the amazing
Eden Project - the list is endless.
Closer
to home, Meldon Reservoir, just 2 miles away, offers a beautiful and
dramatic setting for fishing, picnics, walking and riding. Lydford Gorge,
with its splendid waterfalls and walks, is only a short and scenic drive
towards the ancient stannary town of Tavistock and its famous pannier
market. Cyclists are well catered for, with trails for all levels of
fitness - for example, cycle route 27 is accessed at Meldon. There are
picturesque golf courses at Okehampton, Tavistock and Launceston.
